COLONIAL BISHOPS.

(From Home Papers by the Mail.) Her Majesty has granted to the Archbishop of Canterbury a license empowering him to proceed with the consecration of three colonial bishops, whose consecration has been long deferred in consequence of the difficulties respecting the Colonial Church, suggested by the judgment of the Judicial Committee of the Privy Council in the ease of the Bishop of Capetown and Bishop Colenso. >- The thrree new prelates are — the !Rev. Andrew Burn Suter, M.A., of Trinity College, Cambridge, incumbent of All Saints' Church, Mile-end, New-town, nominated to the Bishopric of Nelson, New Zealand, in the room of Dr Hobhouse, resigned:- the Rev. Heavy Lascelles .Tenner, L.L.B. of Trinity-hall. Cambridge, vicar of Preston, near :Saadwieh, who has been nominated, to the new bishopric of Dunedin, New Zealand ; ;uid | the Rev. Samuel Robinson Waddelow M.A., of St. Peter's College, Cambri i , j curate of Bournemouth, who has bee : nominated to the new bishopric of Givfton aad Armadale, in Australia. The consecration will take place on Prid:iy, the 24th August, ia Canterbury Cathedral. A Paris correspodent states that the medical faculty of that city has made an agreeable discovery. It appears that the brewers of London sent to Paris every year for a fabulous quantity of strychnine, which wholesome material gives the exact amount of bitter which is considered to impart to beer a pleasant flaTor. The society proposes, says the writer, to draw up a. report on this subject, which will be duly transmitted to the Medical Union of London. The serious consideration is that people drink an immense amount of English pale ale, stout, double X, &c, and that evidently the consumers are in imminent danger of attaining immortality by the unpleasant process of slow poison. A gun, eight feet long, and in good preservation, bearing the date 1842, and having on it the arms of the Salters' Company, and the motto Sal Sapit Omnia, has been dug up in Derry in excavating foundations for a new bank. Having been presented to the Corporation of Derry the Salters' Company previous to the siege, and probably used in the defence, it has been added to the collection of local relics. The United States have now, for the first time in their history, a General upon the land and an Admiral upon the sea 3. Heretofore we have had, aays a New York paper, " Lieutenant " Generals and " Vice " Admirals ; but both these titles implied that there was a higher military and a higher naval grade known to the law, • while ia truth there were no higher grades in law or in fact. The President, though constitutionally commander-in-chief of the army and navy, has properly no military grade aid no military title; and, in fact, the subordination implied in the prefix " Lieutenant " and the prefix " Vice " had no reference, historically or actually, to any relations with the President. The new titles have been conferred upon those to whom the country would award them by universal acclaim. Grant and Farragut are not only the two foremost names in our warlike history, but their pre-eminence is undisputed by any rival. All hail " General " Grant I All hail " Admiral " Parragut.

IvoPvY. — There is going to be a scarcity of ivoiy. The demand for Sheffield alone it is said, now kills 20,000 elephants a year. The supply is limited, and the animal does not multiply very fast. An American firm ha 3 offered a reward £1.000 for an effective substitute, especially for gilliard balls, and it is possible t iat one in ay be found, though the toughness and durability of ivory are qualities it is difficult to communicate. Civilisation would not loose much if the supply ceased, but art would. — " London Spectator." June 2. . . Trouble. — If yon are disquieted with anything, you should consider with yourEeif, is the'' thing of that worth, for which I should disturb myself, and lose my peace and tranquility ?
